Category: Return Rewatch

It goes without saying that I am an extreme fan of Twin Peaks. There has been a great many of us that have been divided over Twin Peaks: The Return and its unfamiliar pacing, material, approach. I have embraced every frame as I did the original, even though this was not the Twin Peaks I remembered. I …

My dream is to go to the place (you know the one) where it all began. On a starry night... on a starry night... when it all began. You said hold me... hold me... hold me. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. We're with the stars. - Rebekah Del Rio, "No Stars" Part 10 ends …

‘That Zebra’s out again.’ ‘Have you seen that Penguin, you know the Penguin?’ So here we go again, after a week off and what seemed like forever, I’m sure for most peaks fans out there, we return to Lynch/Frost’s masterpiece with Part 9: This is the chair. For me, this episode kind of feels like …

It was with great pleasure that I got together with Joel Bocko of Lost in the Movies to discuss the wider implications of Part 5 through Part 8 of The Return. Be warned: it's a long read. Our conversation took us on some weird and wonderful journeys, down well-trod paths and forging new ones, as we tried …

Immediately after watching Twin Peaks: The Return Part 8, I knew I had seen the most ambitious, experimental, heartfelt 56-minutes ever committed to the screen. It was reported soon after the segment aired that David Lynch worked on portions of Part 8 by himself, offering little information to others about what he was developing. This …

Don't die. It goes without saying that Part 6 of Twin Peaks: The Return is a tough watch, because two people do die, in truly shocking circumstances. Due to those scenes it is easy to forget the other huge things that happen in this episode; the revelation of a woman we had all been waiting …

It took me until May 21st, 2018 to realize that was Mike Nelson from the original series of Twin Peaks, berating Steven for being a joke of a job candidate in Part 5 of The Return. How did I miss that? There’s so much going on in this series, upon first viewing I was having …

I had the chance to bring back some memories with John Thorne recently when we looked back at Parts 1 through 4. We talked about expectations (or lack thereof), speculated about some of the lingering mysteries, and John reminisced about the opportunity of a lifetime: attending the Hollywood premiere of Twin Peaks: The Return on …

The thing I thought about Part 4 the first time was “We just got a ton of scenes in Twin Peaks; it looks like we’re finally settling in to the real story and we’ll start figuring out how Peaks figures in to all these other towns’ plotlines, and it’ll eventually come together starting now.” And …
